#science my beloved

[macinthecaac]

Finally published another Ryland Grace and Rocky fic! I found myself diving down a couple of rabbit holes regarding the history of human pressure suits, and I was trying really hard not to infodump too much so I could leave room for the actual plot, haha. However, I might make a detailed post explaining the eridian pressure suit design I made in more detail, hopefully with some illustrations. I couldn't find a lot of information on whether a suit like that would actually be possible to create though, so I mostly used my imagination.

I just think that hob gadling would make an amazing stem professor. Don't get me wrong, I love history and literature professor hob just as much. But this is a man who is so incredibly passionate about discovering new things, and with the science and technology boom of the last century you just know he was curious to learn more. He has all the time he could ever need to explore, and to apply what he learns; to write research papers and publish findings and keep reaching and reaching into the well of science that never runs dry.

Imagine Hob in a lab coat, grinning like a madman over a pair of petri dishes when his microbes do the exact opposite of what he was expecting, Ahh, but I will figure you out yet my friends!

Or Hob tirelessly tracing out blueprints for an orphanage. He's going to get this right dammit, he may not have been able to save his siblings from plagues and hunger, but with a little structural engineering and the latest in materials science, he will save the lives of today's hungry, lost kids.

Or Hob the astrophysicist, constantly discovering new stars and galaxies and black holes. He cried while watching the moon landing and he spends his days puzzling over string theory and dark matter and why doesn't the universe behave the way it should.

(Dream loves watching him theorize by the way, because what is a hypothesis but another sort of dream?)

Also Hob the (dare I say it) marine biologist! He's intimately familiar with coral reefs and has made friends with a few sharks and what is down there, in the deepest darkest blues of the ocean, anyway? Look at this brilliant new species of jellyfish, do you see that bit of light there? What is that? Bioluminescence? Remarkable!!

Oh and Madame Curie? What an exceptional mind! Hob is so glad to have known her for the short year that he did. Thomas Edison, on the other hand, was a real piece of work. The one time Hob met him he nearly punched the man's lights out (ha).

I could go on forever, but I'll stop there. Hob Gadling would make a brilliant scientist.

overconfidence a.. *slow* and insidious killer

now that sounds like it can be disproved in the name of Science most easily

Watching Brian Cox on stage talking about black holes and the inevitable heat death of the universe is the best way to spend a Friday night.

Do you like fun facts? Fun fact: sugar can be placed on a wound to protect it from bacteria and help it heal. It will also prevent odor.

E Y O O OO , is it cuz of the absorption of water?? Thats neat thoo :000

This man is giving me terminal brain rot, istg.

There are so many blurbs and fics about Veritas being rude to an "inferior" significant other, but please think about him with a significant other who is just as smart in an opposite way.

Aka, I want to lovingly bicker with him about our respective areas of medicine and science SO BADLY

Veritas Ratio x GN reader married science bickering and fluff

"Veri, dearest...... Can you explain that theorem one more time? I'm still slightly confused," you sigh, tracing your fingers along the side of the spiral notebook you'd been using to take notes.

As always, your notebook is filled with page after page of scrawled formulas, stray doodles, and hastily added mnemonics. To almost anyone else, they'd be illegible, but to you, they were perfect.

Ratio sighed, resting his chin atop his hand in mild exasperation as he leaned over your shoulder and checked your work. "We should come back to this later if you don't understand it by now. As you well know, beating the information into your brain does not lead to true mastery of the subject."

Your husband certainly had a fearsome reputation as a pedagogue, with some of his students even going so far as to add his name to the word's adjective list in the Intelligentsia Guild Databank, but you knew better. Veritas Ratio could certainly be vitriolic at times, but his actions were always used to benefit as many people as possible. At first, his heart seemed cold and stoney, but there was actually gold hidden underneath the rough surface.

"I didn't say that to you the last time the tables were turned," You pointed out with a softly admonishing smile. "I seem to remember spending all night in the library to help a certain someone finally understand oxidation-reduction reactions."

Veritas scoffed derisively. "You're right, but I do feel the need to point out that you had fallen asleep at the table and were drooling onto my textbook when it finally clicked."

"So..... you're going to deny that my many patient explanations helped?" You looked at him with vague amusement, remembering the way he'd launched a piece of chalk across the room after incorrectly identifying the electrophile in one of the practice problems.

"No, no. Just food for thought." His face softened, and a small, indulgent smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "Although, I am afraid that I'll have to insist we at least get something to eat after this attempt. You, of all people, should know that your neurons need proper fuel to work at optimum levels."

Listening to modern technical talk reminds me of when I was checking out some videos from S1 and heard Xisuma telling the viewer that he'd switched food sources because Etho had just proven that the saturation from eating changes based on what food you eat.

Me trying to flirt with Nanami as a biotechnologist

Me: Do you know which enzyme I'd wanna be?

Nanami: *knows better but asks anyway* which one?

Me : DNA helicase

Nanami : *visibly confused because that's actually an enzyme* ok...?

Me :... *waiting*

Nanami: *sighs* because?

Me : So that I can unzip your genes!

Nanami : *face palm and groans*

Ba dum tssss

Red Hood: Okay, everyone good on the plan?

Everyone: *nods*

Red Hood: Great. And what are we not going to do?

Everyone: Bring up Robin’s science project.

Red Hood: Good.

Elsewhere

Jeff the goon: Okay, see, dynamite is kind of basic.

Robin: And?

Jeff: Well, this is for science, right? So doesn’t it need something a little more, I don’t know, exciting?

Robin: Go on…

Later

Red Hood: I can’t believe you’ve corrupted my minions.

Robin, staring at the recently exploded remains of Black Mask’s warehouse: Hey, I’m the child here. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Red Hood: Oh so NOW you’re a child.

Damian: *grumbles*

Red Hood: I can’t believe you used all my PETN.

Damian: Oh, so you don’t want to see the video?

Red Hood: Hey now, I never said that.

thinking about the time Alex wrote the lyrics "I have a feeling that this whole thing might just turn out too clever for its own good" in a song on an album that quite literally turned out to be too clever for its own good - just think of all the hate it got for being different bc ppl were stuck on the puzzle (pun fully intended), unaware they were missing the precious piece of Al's writing evolution that is Everything You've Come to Expect and The Last Shadow Puppets

TBH+C is a fucking masterpiece
